I wanted to purchase subscription to Google Hire. I literally had the credit card in my hand. But there was no way to pay. Not even a way to sign up for a free trial right away. I called them several times, no response.

More than a month later, someone finally responded. The person sounded like he is doing me a favor by getting back. In the meantime I started using another ATS that worked well for us. The salesperson response was effectively, "duh ... we are Google".

I see they have the pricing online now: https://hire.google.com/request-demo/. But still no way to pay or sign up for a trial right away.

The value google may see would be in building machine learning models from data we manually feed in for them. What was the name of the ATS that you eventually selected?

They must not really want the people at large to use it. Maybe it’s part of some other bigger discussion they’re having. Maybe as part of the pitch to get a government contract. “If you give us the contract, we have a hiring tool that the stakeholders can use”.
